Over the past couple of days I had a minor email blockage: AT&T decided
to list my mail server on their block list. They don't tell you why they
do that! But they do respond to an appeal, which came from me and my
hosting company. By Friday morning I was unblocked. Back now!

This morning, 0-500 pairs!
* 10:45 0-500 Pairs
If you're looking for a partner, come to the Partnership Desk. I can get
you into the game with a standby player if you don't find a partner.
(Slept in this morning!) :)

Tonight is our regular 0-1000 game at 7:15!
We often have friendly players available in the Partnership Desk before
the game. Come invite someone, or add your own name. If there's one
player left at game time, I can get you into the game with someone from
the substitutes list.

Hopefully by the time you're reading this you've already realized, "OMG,
it's an hour later than I thought it was!" Welcome back to Daylight
Savings Time! :)
Today we have Open Pairs at 12:30 /Pacific Daylight Time/. :)
We've established a tradition of playing 20 or 21 boards on Sunday
afternoons, and I think it's delightful. It's still not like the 24 or
27 we played in the bridge club on a lazy Sunday afternoon (but
nothing's really like that!).
I often have friendly players in the *Partnership Desk* looking for
partners. Drop by and check! If there's one player left behind, I can
get you into the game with a player from the substitutes list.
Two weeks from today on March 28, instead of pairs we're going to play a
*Swiss Team game for Stardust week*. Start thinking about who you want
to invite for teammates! I'm hoping if we have enough turnout we can
have an Open section and a non-Life Master section.
Best regards,
Mojo

It's a lovely rainy day! Let's stay in and play bridge. :)
Three great games today, including the Newcomer pairs at 7:15 (I'll send
a separate note to the newcomers):
* 10:45 0-500 Pairs
* 7:30 Open Pairs
Single players are pairing up at the Partnership Desk. If there's one
remaining, I can get them into the game with a player on standby from
the substitutes list.

Getting ready for our Tuesday morning 0-500 Pairs game! Come join us
* 10:45 0-500 Pairs
Need a partner? You'll often find one at the Partnership Desk for the
tournament! I can always get one player into the game to play with a
standby player from the substitutes list.
*Coming soon*: Stardust Week, March 22-28, with a special event on
Sunday March 28: *Swiss Teams*! Think about putting together a team of
four. It's two-and-a-half weeks away, but time flies! I'll be happy to
match up pairs into teammates as the day gets closer.
Best regards,
Mojo

Come play in our popular Monday evening 0-1000 Pairs game at 7:15!
We often have good single players in the Partnership desk. If you don't
find a partner there, I can get you into the game with someone from the
substitutes list.
Let me know if you have a friend from out of town who wants to play!

Today, Open Pairs, 12:30!
On Sundays we usually have enough tables and interest to play 20-21
boards instead of 18. More hands to play!
If you need a partner, come to the Partnership Desk before the game. I
can get one odd player into the game with someone from the substitutes
list, but not two!
On the week of March 22-28, we're having a Stardust Week, with a dusting
of gold points added to the masterpoint awards.
I'm thinking of making the Sunday game on March 28 a *Swiss Teams event*
instead of our usual matchpoint pairs. What do you think?
Best regards,
Mojo
